Subject: Re: AUT: Analysis of the sex trade


You might want to take a look at Satoko Watanabe's dissertation proposal:
http://www.eco.utexas.edu/facstaff/Cleaver/satprop.html
on Thai sex workers in Japan. The dissertation is actually finished now
and probably available from university microfilms. Satoko lived and worked
with Thai bar girls in Yokahama, Japan and her dissertation studies the
sex trade from their point of view. As a result, it is less focused on
their victimization and more on their struggles for self-realization. In
doing this study Satoko came into direct conflict with the Yakuza while
obtaining an incredibly rich amount of information from her on-going
interviews. Originally the proposal included work on mail-order brides but
that went by the wayside given the amazing amount of work she did with the
Thai women. The perspective of the study is that of autonomist Marxism and
the proposal references some previous literature on women struggles from a
Marxist perspective.
